    AUSTRALIA’S OCEAN POWER

    CSIRO Study Confirms Australia’s World Class Wave Resource
    24 August 2010 (Pangea via World of Renewables)

    "…Australian wave energy developer Carnegie Wave Energy Limited [advised] that a report released…[by Australia's national science agency CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) estimates that Australia has a potential near-shore wave resource of 146,000 MW or three times the current power generation capacity of Australia.

    "The research used advanced computational modeling and direct observation to more accurately assess the near-shore resource. The report concludes that if only 10% of this resource is extractable, half of Australia’s electricity needs could be met by wave energy. The report supports Carnegie’s previous assessment of Australia’s wave energy potential, conducted by RPS MetOcean, and a recent assessment by the Victorian government of the state’s renewable energy resources…"


    Australia's ocean energy is immense. (click to enlarge)

    [Dr Michael Ottaviano, Managing Director, Carnegie Wave Energy:] “The CSIRO report confirms that Australia has a truly world class wave energy resource on its doorstep that is currently untapped. Carnegie is leading the charge to commercialise this renewable resource via the demonstration of its CETO wave energy technology at Garden Island in Western Australia, and through the ongoing studies at our wave licence areas in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia.”

    "Carnegie supports the need for greater investment through the full lifecycle of wave energy from commercial demonstration projects down to in-situ wave observations…[It] has deployed two directional wave monitoring buoys off the Western Australian coast for this purpose."

    The map is for ocean current speeds, not wave energy resource
